Just added the string & hourglass quilt to my must-make list, PLUS I've "creeped" on some of the commenters here and discovered new bloggers I've never known, along with new projects they've shared. The quilting world just never ends--and I'm okay with that! Looking forward to seeing how you'll quilt that tie quilt.SherryBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01392023610802752316noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1378425196583923775.post-76283747687495168992016-10-19T23:46:26.142-05:002016-10-19T23:46:26.142-05:00I don't watch TV much anymore but I do record ...I don't watch TV much anymore but I do record a program called Hoarders that I watch about 15min of while eating dinner, wondering how do these people live like that?

If you want to donate locally, you might check with your local hospitals (children's wards or cancer wards); fire departments might be able to use them for children displaced by fire; children's foster services can use them for kids in the foster care system (duffel bags are great to go with them for kids to carry around their belongings); that's just a few local options. To join in a national movement, you might look into Quilts of Valor, Project Linus or Quilts For Kids. Or you can send them to me and I'll be sure they find a good home through our church's quilt ministry!Sarah Craighttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18393284767325742399noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1378425196583923775.post-45724446272955122012016-10-19T20:19:50.006-05:002016-10-19T20:19:50.006-05:00I would be interested in donating quilts to charit...I would be interested in donating quilts to charity.

You'll see me there for sure. I started a new quilt ... that won't be done in a month. It's in the same genre as today's Hourglass quilt. You can see it here<br />https://atthecornerofscrapandquilts.blogspot.ca/2016/10/got-my-orange-fix.html<br />In the last picture, I made a Hole in the Barn Door block with little snippets. Of course it can be done with strings, or anything. <br />Your tie quilt is coming along beautifully. Good luck with your goal. ;^)Chantalhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14772079099766225814noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1378425196583923775.post-78712546280555804322016-10-19T09:32:04.796-05:002016-10-19T09:32:04.796-05:00Love the tie quilt!

It's been challenging to put together something cohesive and attractive from a mish-mash of colors and fabric patterns. So, any and all scrap ideas are appreciated.Sherry VFhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06511104687693080640noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1378425196583923775.post-83801145329152437452016-10-19T06:58:04.243-05:002016-10-19T06:58:04.243-05:00I think I am buried in scraps.

I even bought an Accuquilt studio to help me cut them, but the bins are untamed. Because I make comfort quilts, quilters give me their scraps and I can't keep up. It is good fabric and I am grateful, I just can't process it fast enough to make a dent.
